Too far east.

We're getting warmer. Finn wasn't in the South Downs National Park, but he was very close.

Finn is clearly grinning at me, in that picture, because he knows exactly where he was - but I haven't a clue. 

It's not Taunton.

VERY near the Mid Hants Railway. In fact, on it!

Finn and I were enjoying the retro weekend. He's pictured by the entrance to the old engine shed at Medstead & Four Marks station.

I'll maybe post more from the visit in the coming days. We did clock Walmington-on-Sea's finest patrolling Ropley station while supposedly 'guarding' an insolent German U Boat captain. Gunner 'Lofty' Sugden had apparently escaped the Royal Artillery concert party, made it home from Burma and joined the Home Guard.




I couldn't resist singing, "Whistle while you work, Hitler is a berk. He's half barmy..." when I walked past the U Boat captain. He responded in the correct manner...

"Your name vill also go on ze list. Vot is it?!"
